After the death of the mafia boss who kept William as a lover, the arrival of Nine—the boss’s adopted son, suspected by the organization of killing his father—puts grief, uncertainty, and attraction in the same uneasy space. William’s effort to sort out Nine’s motives and the loose ends around the death gives the story its central tension: intimacy is bound up with questions of trust and danger. Joe Aruku’s manga is presented as a single-volume BL psychological thriller. The publisher lists explicit sexual content, violence, sexual assault, and stalking among its content warnings.
